I'm using GIMP 2.10 for astroimage processing. When I export the final image as tif or png, and reopen in Windows (7) next to the original image in GIMP, it appears significantly darker. I tried to no avail:
Reducing bit depth and switching between linear and perceptive mode.
Is this a bug or a feature? How can I save my images "as is"? Never had this problem with 2.8.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks and best regards,
Pat

I've had a lot of photo's appear darker when saved.  I finally found a setting that seems to explain the problem I was having.
In Image, Precision you can choose Perceptual gamma (sRGB) or Linear light.  When I changed to setting to Perceptual
I got the results that I expected.

The precision only says how how the layer data is stored. This shouldn't change the output, or there is a bug.
